Plot Summary
A trio of poachers intrude on Mori territory. One of them appears to be killed by a Crocco before the other two are arrested by the Mori people.
The Phantom is called in and, with help from Mozz, decides that the Croccos need to be re-located to the Gulf of Mexico. He decides to take his children along, while Diana is working in New York.
Needing sea transport, the Phantom approaches Captain Savarna, a beautiful uniformed Indian woman who runs an automated freighter by herself. The Croccos are collected and sail off in the bilges of the India Voyager II.
Complications arise when Savarna learns the identiy of her passenger and fall in love with him. She changes out of her uniform into an exotic sari and prepares a tempting meal; but then Diana, who is getting suspicious, arrives by helicopter and frustrates Savarna's plans.
